Coexistence of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) and serosal cystic mass
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 9
Abstract
Introduction: GIST constitutes a distinct group of rare gastrointestinal tract tumors that originate from the interstitial cells of Cajal. Most of GISTs are small and asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally during evaluation for unrelated problems. The coexistence of GISTs with other primaries is usually discovered incidentally during GI surgery for carcinomas. Here in, we describe the reverse of the common situation, as an unknown serosal cystic mass was incidentally discovered during surgery for intestinal GIST. Apart from coexistence both lesions were lining at a same point across intestinal wall.
